When I saw that image, I was more thinking the G cut off would be emphasising the "Sun", pronounced the same way as "San", which is "three" in Japanese.

Then again, I also wear a tinfoil hat to stop people stealing my thoughts!

Still quite happy with an SGS II variant.
I'm opposed to any quad-core phones, purely because of how utterly absurd it is.
I hear echos from the PC industry in my head.. for most applications on the phone are also GPU bound.

This is what made the first Galaxy S stand out (among other things like the screen) with the SGX 540.
Having actually owned a Tegra 2 powered handset (Motorola Photon) I can tell you it sucked at video applications compared to the Hummingbird SoC.

So the ARM Mali-400 completely blew it away. As for those 2 cores.. well.. they might help with the rare multitasking bottlenecks.. but it seems mostly trivial at best.

I'd rather see a high clock (~1.6GHz) dual core A15 Exynos SoC than another T3.
However, I fully expect the SGS III to blow away Nvidia again in graphics (lol!) regardless of core count.

Gives me something to use my line upgrade subsidy on.

who gives a sh!t, really? There are only 450000 android phones on the market already and every shiny new model gets "one upped" in a matter of minutes.

Lets not even get into the lacking support from carriers and manufacturers who dont upgrade these devices with new builds of Android.
